4 Underspin Tricks To Catch More Bass! Bonus Underwater Footage!

Catching BIG bass when everyone else is catching small fish is easy! Are you tired of keitech swimbaits getting torn? Which heads are best for ledge fishing? Did you know you can use blade size and color to change how a bass eats, not just when a bass eats? Do blades even move when bottom fishing? Does it matter? All of this and more in today's information-packed video on Fall Underspin fishing for bass!

The Underspin is one of the most underrated lures in bass fishing. Most clear water fishermen assume its too flashy and most muddy water fishermen don't realize their fish can find it. If you're one of the lucky ones that has given this technique a try during its recent resurgence, you already know how amazing it can be! The under spin may be the most versatile of all reaction baits. It has an effective range with water temps from high 30's all the way up to 80+ degrees. It can be fished in 50+ feet of water but is equally effective in just inches of water around vegetation.

The key to the underspin is in the subtle nuances. For example, the River2Sea D Walker will cause the bait to rock, roll, and flash more than any other bait we've ever seen. The keitech will get bit at virtually any speed and with the quick "spring trick" in this video, can last through dozens of fish. The Blade Runner Spintrix will draw fish with its incredible head wobble but when conditions change the Hog Farmer will catch them with its stable action. Pay attention to the details in this video and you will catch way more bass this Fall!

The Best Dropshot Trick For Fall Bass!

Are you ready to try something different to catch more bass this Fall? Are you tired of the same old dropshot worm? Its time to discover a new way to fish a finesse swimbait! Dropshotting small swimbaits is a deadly trick for Fall bass that are feeding on baitfish. If you aren't doing it this Fall, you're missing fish that are ready to be caught.

Tim turns to a non-traditional dropshot rig for Fall bass. Not only does he use a swimbait instead of a worm, he also prefers to tie his tungsten dropshot weights to the line instead of using a standard dropshot weight. He explains that smallmouth and spotted bass will often throw traditional dropshot weights off the line during the fight but a tied weight will last much longer. This video is full of small details that make a huge difference so pay close attention to what Tim is teaching.

While the actual method is simple, Tim breaks down 3 key applications for the dropshotted swimbait. He also explains there are two different hooks that work for this technique. The Owner mosquito light is best with higher-end tackle that has been dialed in to absorb the hard runs of big bass. This hook is incredibly sharp but will bend under load if the angler is not experienced with battling big bass. For those with budget tackle that is not as dialed in, or those who simply prefer a heavier wire hook, the Trokar dropshot hook is a phenomenal option. Below is a breakdown of the baits, hooks, weights, and equipment that Tim recommends for this method.
